Lol, veteran GW2 players? That word has really lost its meaning here.
The skin was offered to players that supported their products before GW2 was released. It is still available through the HoM and you can pick the game up for dirt cheap too.

Yup that is the sword that my warrior uses, the HoM Fiery Dragon Sword. I like it and it is free to apply as many times as I want, so I don't have to pay stupid amount of gold for the other highly-demanded ugly skins. Double win.

Lol, I played Guild Wars 1 for over 4 years. Yep, I got some nice shiny skins and a God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals title I can wear in this game if I want. I also played all the Guild Wars 2 beta weekends and almost every day since launch. Tell me again how much of a veteran you are. ^^
